"He scores every time"- Chris Sutton claims Marcus Rashford will make the difference in Liverpool clash at Anfield

Manchester United have been tipped by BBC Sports pundit Chris Sutton to take advantage of Liverpool's peripheral performances on the pitch and pick up all three points when they visit Anfield on Sunday.

 

Chris Sutton predicted Erik Ten Hag's side to win 2-1 at Anfield and indicated that Liverpool's defense is one advantage the Red Devils will have when they lineup against Jurgen Klopp's men while adding that Marcus Rashford will make the difference for Man United.

 

"United are just so clinical in front of goal, though, and Rashford could be the difference."

 

“Right now, I just see him scoring every time he plays." "It hurts me to see United back and playing well again, but it is good for the Premier League.”

 

Marcus Rashford has been in sensational goalscoring form this season. He has scored 28 goals across all competitions for the Red Devils this season, the most since breaking into the first team in 2016.

 

The Red Devils will be back for another action in the Premier League as they look to keep up with Manchester City and Arsenal in the title race, although pundits and Red Devils manager Erik Ten Hag have continuously dismissed any attempt at the title race.

 

The goal must be to defeat Jurgen Klopp's team, who are currently sixth in the standings after falling as low as ninth.

 

Liverpool's 5-2 setback to Real Madrid at home demonstrates that they are still very beatable, and Manchester United players currently believe they are capable of defeating anyone.

 

Last season, Liverpool defeated Manchester United 4-0 in a lopsided match that saw Paul Pogba replaced after just 10 minutes due to illness. Although he still has a contract with the club, it was Phil Jones' final appearance for the team.

 

Last season, Hannibal's kamikaze cameo, which cost him a contract, was the game's high point. He at least displayed some resistance.

 

A win would increase United's advantage over Liverpool from 10 to 13 points and significantly increase the chances of securing a Champions League place.

 

If United succeeds, it can start aiming higher and pursuing City and Arsenal. If you lose, you must "glance over your shoulder" to see who is coming after you.

 

Marcus Rashford is a familiar foe to the Kop and has always found the back of the net against them; he scored in the first leg of the fixture last August as the Red Devils beat Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford.
